BRUSSELS—The European Union on June 11 urged all its member countries to start lifting travel restrictions on their common borders from next week, saying that the closures they introduced to tackle the CCP virus do little to limit its spread.
The EU’s executive arm, the European Commission, wants Europe’s ID check-free travel area to be up and running again by the end of June. Once that has happened, a ban on nonessential travel to the continent can also gradually be eased.
